Interface IFeatureOrhpanedDefinitionNodeItem<D extends IDefinition,I extends INamedInstance>

Type Parameters:
D - the definition's type
I - the type of the instance that could be created from the definition
All Superinterfaces:
ICollectionValue, IDefinitionNodeItem<D,I>, IItem, IMetapathQueryable, INodeItem, INodeItemVisitable, IPathSegment
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractDefinitionNodeItem, AbstractGlobalDefinitionNodeItem, AbstractOrphanedDefinitionNodeItem
public interface IFeatureOrhpanedDefinitionNodeItem<D extends IDefinition,I extends INamedInstance> extends IDefinitionNodeItem<D,I>
A mixin interface used to identify that the implementation is a IDefinitionNodeItem that is based on a IDefinition that is an orphan in it's hierarchy. As a result, this item has no other siblings, since definitions cannot be instantiated.
